Steven Kazmierczak graduates from basic training

I went to basic training with the NIU shooter. The reports on the news say that he didn't want to take his medications. Now that I look back at my interactions with Kaz, it makes a lot of sense. My guss is that he probably didn't want to be labeled as mentally ill and refused to take the meds.
He joined the Army after the events of 9/11 occurred. And for the 10 weeks I bunked with him, he put his whole heart into his training. We didn't get along, but it was clear to me that he was very smart. I think he could have done great things if he would have accepted help.

Why didn't you get along with him?

[Hearseman75]

I don't know if there is ONE particular thing I can tell you about why we didn't get along. I just know that; when you cram 30 men from widely diverse backgrounds into the same living space for several months, there is a probability that some won't get along.

America is one fucked up place

An American of Polish descent, a first generation Bosnian, a first generation Korean, two white teens from Colorado....what could all this mean????

@markxxx21 Same with Eric Harris, the U.S. Marines supposedly denied him entry for anti-psychotic medications but now the deny that in black and white. Many people have been on anti-depressants and still excel great in the military, and your right is where WE belong.

[markxxx21]

@LRASS2009 He was discharged from the military because he lied about never taking anti-psychotic medication. Probably would've been better off there.

Steven Kazmierczak is a disgrace to the uniform. I hope they cremated his body because he does not deserve a military funeral.

I agree!

RIP Kazmierczak

Folks I believe this is a CIA/US Army/SACUER "BLACK OPS" the Blackwater training facility is less than 100 miles away in Mount Carroll, IL. Kazmierczak was trained by the US Army(US Army brought thousands of Nazis into Americ following WW 2, now SS Gestapo is "Blackwater Worldwide"
